Glorious news, the zombie apocalypse is nigh!
If you are a fan of the Zombie genre in any way there are a few things which should get your attention, and if they haven’t already, then they really should. If we are talking movie’s then of course there’s Shaun of the Dead, the earlier Romero flicks and most recently Zombieland.
In Video Games we have Left 4 Dead, and it’s sequel, the Resident Evil series, and even the trip to the mall that is Dead Rising. In books, we have the recent Pride and Prejudice and Zombies making a big splash, and if you want to check something out that’s not on the radar, check the Torchwood Novel “Bay of the Dead” out, truly the best written bit of zombie terror I’ve encountered.
But in Graphic Novels, or comic books if you prefer, the king is Robert Kirkman with his “continuing story of survival horror; The Walking Dead. After much critical acclaim, Kirkman’s opus is bringing one of my dreams to light, a television show. An ongoing series of life after the undead.
But it gets better, the adaptation was written and will be directed by Frank Darabont, the director behind the Shawshank Redemption. So far it’s just the pilot that AMC has given the green light to, but let’s keep our rotting fingers crossed, this should be legen-wait for it-dary!
